ON EXPLORATION

Colibri Resource Corporation retained CANMEX Perforaciones y Servicios SA de CV to conduct its next phase of drilling at the EP project in Sonora. The program will be focused on the undrilled San Perfecto and Banco de Oro target areas.
Kenadyr Metals Corp., provided an update on its Adelita copper-gold-silver project in Sonora. The company is preparing to commence Phase 1 exploration activities, including drilling and detailed geophysical surveys at the Cerro Grande skarn zone, following receipt of all necessary permits, including a 20-year mining license. The deal with Infinitum Copper (80%) and Minaurum Gold (20%) is basically done; just waiting on final TSXV approval, and financing is almost wrapped up with a last tranche expected soon. Overall, the project is positioned for active exploration with long-term development potential.
Advance Metals Limited confirmed high grade silver-gold in previously unsampled core at its Yoquivo project. More than 6,300m of unsampled core in the Pertenencia Zone has been identified, representing greater than 50% of the historic drilling completed. First batch of sample results comprising 222.7m of core across 11 holes in the southern portion of Pertenencia Zone has confirmed the untested potential, returning grades of up to 370g/t Ag & 6.2g/t Au. Sampling from holes drilled in 2022 include holes YQ-022-025 with 480 g/t AgEq over 2.05m, including 848 g/t AgEq over 1.1m, and hole YQ-022-002 with 115 g/t AgEq over 4.45m, including 249 g/t AgEq over 0.95m. Multiple additional batches of previously untested core are currently awaiting assay results.
Mithril Silver and Gold Limited provided exploration results and an update for multiple targets at its Copalquin project. Target 5 in the southwest area of Copalquin, which is still in the early stages of exploration but showing great promise that could significantly impact the district´s resource potential, returned impressive silver-gold drill intercepts, including a standout hit of 1,714 g/t AgEq over 1m. Drilling highlights include hole AP25-003 with 2.28 g/t Au and 500 g/t Ag (660 g/t AgEq) over 2.75m, including 5.8 g/t Au and 1,308 g/t Ag (1,714 g/t AgEq) over 1m; hole AP25-005 with 1.71 g/t Au and 246 g/t Ag (366 g/t AgEq) over 3.35m, including 5.35 g/t Au and 771 g/t Ag (1,146 g/t AgEq) over 1.05m; and hole AP25-006 with 4.55 g/t Au and 409 g/t Ag (728 g/t AgEq) over 1,25m, plus 2.41 g/t Au and 447 g/t Ag (616 g/t AgEq) over 0.90m, plus 1.51 g/t Au and 321 g/T AgEq) over 0.80m. To date, 13 drilled holes have been completed at Target 5 with assay results received for the first eight holes. On the other hand, channel sampling at Tasolera mine returned high grade results, including 2 g/t Au and 3,300 g/t Ag (3,440 g/t AgEq) over 1.4m. This target is

rapidly emerging as a major silver zone. Only around 5% of the related vein system has been tested so far, meaning there´s plenty more ground to cover. Ongoing exploration mapping and channel sampling is on progress to expand its footprint. At Target 3, preparations are underway for drilling, supported by ongoing mapping and sampling efforts. This target is a large, highly prospective gold-silver zone with multiple high-grade surface samples and extensive mapped veins. At Target 1 (El Refugio-La Soledad), which hosts the maiden JORC mineral resource estimate, an ongoing drilling program is underway aiming to expand this existing resources by testing its western extensions and deep zones. At Target 6, new targets, including old workings have been identified with some recent sampling and mapping, indicating potential for future exploration. In general, drilling keeps revealing solid gold-silver mineralization, and the company is moving fast with more holes planned in multiple areas of the district.

ON EXPLORATION

Questcorp. Mining Inc. commenced the first phase work program at its La Union project in Sonora. Questcorp is earning a 100% interest from Riverside Resources Inc. in the 2,520 ha property. The initial stage includes marking lines for an IP survey, sampling of limestone and dolomite host rocks for fluorescence study for vectoring, geological mapping of selected drill sites and sections on the IP lines and rock and soil sampling to identify additional targets. The project hosts carbonate replacement deposit style (CRD) mineralization hosted by “Neoproterozoic sedimentary rocks (limestones, dolomites, and siliciclastic sediments) overlying crystalline Paleoproterozoic rocks of the Caborca Terrane….. Mineralization occurs as polymetallic veins, replacement zones (mantos, chimneys), and shear zones with high-grade metal content, as shown in highlight grades of 59.4 grams per metric tonne (g/t) gold, 833 g/t silver, 11% zinc, 5.5% lead, 2.2% copper, along with significant hematite and manganese oxides…”
Pinnacle Silver and Gold Corp. provided an update on the Potrero project in Durango. The importance of a quartz feldspar porphyry dike is being recognized as it follows the same structure that hosts the mineralized quartz breccia vein system with some underground workings entirely within it. Additional channel sampling is now conducted in areas where access was previously restricted. “A program of combined underground and surface diamond drilling is being devised in order to systematically test the Dos de Mayo vein system”. A plant consultant reviewed the processing installations and will produce a report in the following weeks. “A permit consultant was taken to the project to initiate a site review for the purpose of permitting near term diamond drilling, mid-term mine development and site preparation, and future production”.
Tocvan Ventures Corp. announced reverse circulation (RC) drill results from the latest drill program at its Gran Pilar project in Sonora.

Masivo Silver Corp. is advancing on the due diligence to acquire the Cerro Colorado project in Sonora. Reported historic results from two 2015 drill holes by Minera Gold Zone. The two shallow holes targeted the southwestern margin of the Cerro Colorado system. Highlighted core length results comprise 29.65 m 0.062 gpt Au, 51 gpt Ag, 0.1% Pb, 0.6% Zn (including 5.05 m @ 0.262 gpt Au, 254 gpt Ag, 0.27% Cu, 0.4% Pb, 0.8% Zn; 2.95 m @ 0.395 gpt Au, 384 gpt Ag, 0.40% Cu, 0.4% Pb, 0.9% Zn; 2.45 m @ 0.432 gpt Au, 430 gpt Ag, 0.59% Cu, 0.4% Pb, 0.8% Zn); 35.80 m @ 23 gpt Ag, 0.4% Zn (including 3.15 m @ 0.188 gpt Au, 159 gpt Ag, 0.14% Cu, 0.3% Pb, 0.5% Zn and 0.60 m @ 0.705 gpt Au, 577 gpt Ag, 0.52% Cu, 0.8% Pb, 0.9% Zn). According to Masivo, “Cerro Colorado hosts a sub-epithermal polymetallic system, potentially related to breccia structures on the flank of a deeper porphyry system”.
